Dear Mrs. Lopez:
In response to your request for zoning verification for the property located at 1300 N. Penn Station

• A multi-family development is a conditional use in the R-15 zoning district. The definition
of a multi-family development is:

• The proposed use is considered a conforming use and complies with the zoning regulations
in effect at the time of project approval noted above.
• In the event of a casualty, an approved Conditional Use Permit, Certificate of Zoning
Compliance, and Design Review are required to rebuild the structure in its current form.
• To the best of my knowledge the site does not have any legal non-conforming issues, nor
any building or zoning violations.
• Documents regarding the subject property are available through a records request at the
Meridian City Clerk’s Office.
Staff’s failure to cite specific provisions of the Unified Development Code, or existing
conditions of approval associated with the subject property, does not relieve the Applicant of
responsibility for compliance.
If you should have any further questions regarding this matter, please don’t hesitate to contact
Stacy Hersh at (208) 884-5533.
